After being told countless times that I should see the animated series of The Tick, I’m finally doing it. The pilot was pretty great! I really liked The Caped Chameleon. ---

I’m officially back from vacation, so I have no excuse for not posting from this point on. I’d like to thank Dante for making this an extra-long Night, so I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on Day 1. > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > I’ve been wondering who else is in the game… Axel Foley? Tango & Cash? Rambo? Action Jackson? Idle speculation for now. So far, John McClane and Martin Riggs have been mentioned explicitly in the color, and Jack Burton has been referenced in passing. On the other side, we’ve had mention of Hans Gruber and Karl (last name unknown). Of course, whether these mentions mean that these characters \*are \*in the game, or that they _aren’t_, or if it makes no difference at all, we don’t know. > [@HookerChemical](#): > > Turner and Hooch. Is this a Role Claim? 😃 ---

**MOD NOTE** In regards to Suburban’s last post, if the character is in a specific color in the narrative, then yes they are in the game. So Jack Burton is in the game, he just has not been named yet because a scene hasn’t focused on him yet. So stay tuned. Play on, players! ---

The extra long night 1 helps me too by the way. I have a house guest who arrived Friday and is going back home Tuesday. I took off work, and we have been drinking enough to make our mothers worried.
